A description is given of the test method and the data obtained for small‐scale weathering. Extensive data were also obtained on commercially weathered clays. The results obtained show that the changes produced by weathering cannot be readily detected by the usual test methods. Either the changes produced by weathering are over‐estimated, or the present test methods do not measure the properties involved.
